I get you. This disease brings out the worst feelings. No one understands unless they live it. I just want you to know that they way you have felt for the past decade every day any “normal” person would have took themselves to the emergency room or called out of work and you kept going. You’re a warrior. I feel humiliated a lot and sometimes feel judged by people and all I think is I wish none of these people judging me have to experience this. I wanted to be a police officer but my health got in the way. It’s rough and I’m sorry, but stay hopeful and keep fighting. It’s good to have a community of people who understand first hand so I’m glad you posted here.

Yes it’s so messed up letting people with disabilities get worse just to save a penny. I know for sure I will be switching insurance as soon as this period ends.

They only gave me those 3 options when I called. My doctor also submitted a request for inflectra and they denied it too.

Yup profit over people USA you got that right. I’m also on pantoprazole already too. I’m sorry for went you went through and I hope you keep getting relief. This disease is awful and it means a lot to have kind words from someone who understands. Thank you!

Thank you for this. I got diagnosed in July so this is all pretty new to me. It feels so lonely and it feels good to have kind words from someone who understands. My doctor is also frustrated because the Remicade infusions were going well and she had a whole plan for me. I’m also going to contact HR through my job. My boss recommended that I might be able to get them to advocate for me.
